Well, I own the SS Old School 1 & 2 DVD sets and have watched them multiple times, and I've downloaded some of the classic episodes from iTunes. So while I'm definitely not the next Norman Stiles or Jerry Juhl, I feel that I've got a good sense of what kind of humor was used on the Street back...

W is for Whoops. Totally forgot that the missing letter was W. (And to think that I have another outline with W as a sponsor!) :o:grr::oops:

Thanks for your comments! I appreciate it. This Dragnet parody is a really rare skit (1971-72) and it is featured on the Sesame Spoofs DVD set.

Here's the next one! Sesame Street Old School Outline Season 8: Close calls with Snuffleupagus/Oscar’s grouch marching band Sponsors: C, M, 7 Scene 1: Bob is walking down the Street when he hears awful noises coming from Oscar’s can. Oscar, clad in a tattered marching outfit, explains that...

Bumping this thread after 2 months. I read this book at the beginning of my summer break, and I could not have asked for a better, more detailed, more poignant, more AMAZING biography of Jim Henson and his legacy. Brian Jay Jones has done a superb job with this one.

So I've really gotten into the Sesame Street classics episodes from iTunes and thought, "I should try making some original outlines." These outlines are between seasons 3 and 10; the golden years, if you will, of SS. ***I have tried to make these as original as possible. If any street scenes in...

Snuffy was revealed in episode 2096 (season 17 or 18), nearly fifteen years after he first appeared on SS. And the episode where Hooper nearly sees Snufy is #796 where Snuffy counts the SS residents who miss him, among them Gordon, Susan, Willy, Maria, and even Cookie Monster...

Sure...I'm thinking of one with Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons...he's a singer who's a bit before your time. This one will feature most likely Animal, Kermit, Floyd, Gonzo's stunt, a Newsflash, and Muppet Labs! Maybe even Bear on Patrol...stay tuned!

How could we forget the Muppet News bit with Spike Milligan?!

The entire Steve Martin episode. Not only was Steve at his funniest, but the auditioning acts are something that only Jim and his staff could have come up with.

Very nice features! They make it much easier for the users to post, comment, chat, and write fanfics. I am really liking this new-and-improved forum. Well done, everyone! :)

Listened to this and was amazed! Here are my thoughts. Thog was pretty funny in this one, and I wish he could have been a bigger character (in terms of popularity, not in size). Cookie and Oscar had great lines: :insatiable: "This microphone great! The one on Carson's show…BLECCH!!!"...

NBC has also been showing these commercials (sans Terry Crews) in the morning. I turn on the TV to watch the Today Show and I've seen the Muppets/Toyota spots at least three times in the past four days.

I'm reading the Jim Henson biography by Brian Jay Jones, and there's some info about how some of the SS skits would fall apart during rehearsal due to the performers' antics. Someone would then ask Jon Stone, "And what are we teaching?" Stone would reply gleefully, "Who cares?" This skit...

Happy belated birthday, Frank! I wish I could put all my favorite moments with Miss Piggy, Animal, Fozzie, Grover, Cookie, and Bert into this post, but there are just too many. Even though it's been a long time since you were a regular performer, your legacy is incredible. Thanks again for...

Today is the 24th anniversary of Jim Henson's passing. Let's remember with one of his last performances as Kermit the Frog.

Hmmmm…how about the fact that Sara Bareilles's "Love Song" came out in 2007, and it's STILL heard everywhere. I remember when it first came out in middle school, and seven years later, I still can't get it out of my head. Oh, and Now That's What I Call Music released their 50th installment. I...
